Description of Monolithos, Santorini (Greece)
Monolithos Beach is located on the north-east side of the island where it meets the Meltemi wind and creates an ideal spot for kitesurfing! Meltemi is the north wind that blows the most at the Aegean Sea and it‘s coming as a great side-onshore wind that makes the best conditions for all kitesurf levels. The 1km of black sandy beach with side onshore wind makes you feel safe and allows you to admire the amazing view while riding!
